Graft survival after LDLT using a small-for-size right lobe graft (GRWR < 0.8%) is as good as with normal grafts. However, patency of anterior sectoral outflow by MHV or reconstructed MHV is crucial to maintain graft function when SFSG are used.
HighlightsWe interchanged the grasper with the dissector & dissected the Calot's from the postero-lateral side.The midclavicular trocar was used for dissection, instead of traction in traditional technique.The epigastric trocar was used for grasping and traction, instead dissection as in the traditional technique.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
